| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into three vertical panels within a ruled border: the left panel carries the text authorizing payment against the note from the issuer's account, while the right panel states the denomination in words. The central vignette presents a letterpress view of a local church with a distinctive tower, surrounded by trees and a walled churchyard, rendered in a fine line-engraving style. At the foot of the note, the account number 'Konto 1B', the issuing authority 'Hohenfriedeberg — der Magistrat' with a manuscript signature, and the serial number appear across three compartments. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark brown and black on a cream ground, with narrow vertical panels of foliate ornament flanking a large central vignette. The vignette portrays a dynamic battle scene alluding to the 1745 Battle of Hohenfriedeberg, with cavalry, infantry, and unfurled regimental standards rendered in detailed intaglio-style line work beneath billowing smoke. The denomination '50' appears in mauve circular cartouches at left and right, and a scroll at the foot of the central scene carries a two-line commemorative motto. |
| Reverse lettering | 50 50 Die Welt ruht auf den Schultern des Atlas nicht sicherer als Preussen auf solch einer Armee. |
